2009 Honda Civic EX Sedan Low Idle Problem

I've notice that my 2009 Civic EX idle's very low, and shakes pretty bad....does anyone know what may be causing this? My local Honda dealer says there is "nothing wrong, and all of them are like this" but I find that hard to believe. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Go down to Autozone and have them read then clear any codes.

My 2006 LX sedan has the same issue
I'm fairly certain it's a motor mount I haven't taken the time to figure out which one it is because it only is felt in drive I'll leaning towards the transmission mount

O and lazlong any codes in the system that would cause a vibration would more than likely throw a check engine light only thing autozone knows how to fix is with a diagnostic dartboard
Take it to a professional it will be cheaper than having the kid a the counter throw parts because his little pocket scanner read a code

^^ I didn't say take their advice or parts, I just said get the code from them. I can do the labor myself.

You are correct though, a bad mount can cause this problem. I'm just going in order of probable causes.
